Abstract excerpt
The process of State Transitions (ST) corresponds to an STT7 kinase-driven redistribution of the transmembrane LHCII antenna proteins between Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI), which results from changes in their phosphorylation state. For the past two decades, two LHCII-kinase mutants, stt7-1 and stt7-9, have been instrumental in the study of STs in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the former being a null...
